Suspiria – Luca Guadagnino
A darkness swirls at the center
of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the troupe’s artistic
director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will
succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.

“Each new film I make always
feels like a first feature to me: something new emerges from the memories that
forged my imaginary. When I was ten, in Cesenatico, a village on the Adriatic
coast, I had the epiphany of Suspiria: I saw a poster hanging outside a
closed movie theatre. Thirty-seven years later, here I am with my first
(horror) film; this is thanks to the evocative power of Dario Argento and his
ability to kindle imaginaries. Suspiria was created in 1976 and released in
1977. Our Suspiria
is set in 1977, a crucial year for the feminist-feminine revolution.”
